- What?!

- You put poison in all the glasses?!

- And in a few minutes, it will kill you all...

Thranduil draws his sword and kills him.

- Father! He didn't tell us everything!

- Son... This is the end...

Everyone looks at each other, sad.

- W-we have to do something...

He says with difficulty because of the nausea that arises.

- Father...

All the high elves lose control, and the poison does its work.

- Son... Take care of the kingdom for me...

- Father... I drank too... The dwarves as well... Aragorn... Arwen... We're all going to die...

Izia leaves her room and decides to walk in the garden.

- Princess! Guards coming from the great hall say something extremely horrible happened! Thalion shouts.

- What? An assassination?!

- He says all the high elves are dead, including the dwarves, Aegnor...

- WHAT?! ARE YOU SURE?! HOW?!

Izia runs at full speed to the great hall, followed by the bodyguards.

She sees with horror Aegnor dead on the ground, his head cut off... Thranduil and all the others lying on the ground, dead.

- AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

...

The guards and Rian burst into Izia's room.

- Princess Izia?! Are you okay?!

- Huh..?

- You had a nightmare... Rian says.

- Rian? But...

- You had returned to your room.

- Oh... And the party?

- It ended two hours ago...

- What time is it?

- It's 2:30 am.

- What?! I fell asleep...

- You didn't even change... Let me help you.

The guards, relieved, leave the room.

Izia changed into her pajamas.

- I-I don't want to sleep anymore... I'm...

- You are exhausted... You had a nightmare it seems...

- Yes...

- Rian?

- Yes, Princess Izia?

- Izia, please.

- Okay.

- Tell me, where do you come from...

- My past is quite dark...

- Tell me, please.

- If you wish! But first, I'll make us some tea!

Izia smiles.

- Hmm.. My former name is Rúmil... I changed it because it reminds me of bad memories, a bad phase in my life...

- I understand.

- My mother died giving birth to my little sister... I was about 7 years old at the time, my father abused me a lot... He barely took care of my little sister...

My aunt came to help us.

- Oh... You have a sister!

- Yes, but I don't know where she is...

- Why?

- She was kidnapped... One day, father asked her to go get bread, and she never came back... My father thought she ran away...

But I thought she got lost, I went to look for her, but I never found her...

- That's sad, I'm sorry...

What was her name?

- Idril...

- It's the first time I hear that name...

- Yet, it's quite popular!

- Sorry, but I've spent my whole life locked in my room... I only went out for royal occasions.

- I'm sorry...

- It's not your fault... Continue.

- And since that day, my father hit me a lot... And my aunt left the house because I was old enough to take care of myself. Then he sold me to a man, I became a slave... Then the man sold me to another, and so on... Until the day Feren saved me from the clutches of a madman.

- I'm glad you started a new life, Rian!

- Thank you, Prin- Izia! And thank you for your attention!

- You're welcome...

- Well, I'm going to sleep!

- Good night!

Izia stayed awake for a few minutes then decided to sleep even though she wanted to stay awake, but it was late and she didn't want to look horrible the next day...
